About Sherbrooke Murals
Sherbrooke presents itself as a mural city. Since the early 2000s, a collective of artists has painted large downtown façades with trompe-l'oeil scenes that imitate windows, balconies and streets, and tell episodes of the city’s history, local characters and everyday life.
The route includes more than a dozen main murals, some several stories high, and can be done on foot in one or two hours from the historic centre, near Wellington and King streets. The local tourist office provides a map with the works and explanations for each scene.
The murals are outdoors and can be seen at any time of day. On foot, the route also passes the hills and old downtown buildings, between the Magog River and the cathedral.
